Today was a very successful day at the barn. Finally got my best friend to come out after her long hiatus from the barn! I lunged Riley without the side reins today and he did amazingly, picked up the canter right away, after a couple laps each direction I put the side reins on for reminders, plus he still needs more work with it. Anyway The last ride I rode him with my spurs so today I decided to do the same. At first he handled it pretty well, gave me some good laps around but then decided he didn't like this working business and every time I would ask with my spur he would slow down, stop then kinda kick out.. Babies .. I got one more good trot out of him with no kicking and decided to end it there. He's starting to really handle me being on him now. He doesn't seem so worried anymore on whats going on.
My friend got on him, and boy was he lazy! but besides that he behaved like an angel and gave her a good ride too.
I love my horse <3 he's going to be 4 soon!!
